Instant Analysis: Clemson 34, Boston College 17 |
CLEMSON – It wasn’t the defensive effort everybody expected as the two offenses combined for almost 800 yards, but Clemson remains undefeated with a 34-17 win over Boston College.
No. 6 Clemson moves to 6-0 with the win and Boston College drops to 3-4. PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Artavis Scott THE GOOD: The Clemson offense got off to a slow start, but ended the game with 522 yards of total offense
Deshaun Watson THE BAD: Boston College accounted for 246 yards of offense, including 159 yards rushing. Myles Willis came into the game with 18 carries for 122 yards, but amassed 88 yards on 15 carries. THE UGLY: The Clemson offense has shown flashes of being great, but the turnovers will be a problem in a close game. Deshaun Watson threw two interceptions and could have been picked off a couple of more times, as the Tigers lost the turnover battle 2-0. This is the second straight week Clemson has been on the losing end of the turnover margin – minus-four in against Georgia Tech and Boston College. The turnovers led to 10 Boston College points. SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS:
Jordan Leggett WHAT’S NEXT: Clemson travels to Miami for what we think will be a primetime matchup with the Hurricanes at Sun Life Stadium. Boston College travels to Louisville, as the Eagles are looking for their first ACC win.
